support

★★★★★
🇺🇸 /sʌpˈɔɹt/ 🇬🇧 /səˈpɔːt/
noun 编号: S05947 牛津3000 BNC #481 COCA #524
support既可作动词表示“支撑、支持、维持、为……提供帮助”，也可作名词表示“支撑物、支持、援助”；在技术语境中还可指产品兼容性或客户支持。
💡 记忆钩子
把support想成一只手托在下面：它先托住物体，表示“支撑”；再托住人、事业或观点，表示“支持、援助”；证据托住理论，就是“支持论点”；软件能托住某种设备或功能，就是“兼容、支持”。
📝 学习建议
  • 先掌握“支撑物—支持某人或观点—提供帮助”这条主线，再学习技术领域的“兼容”和名词“客户支持”。
  • 不要把support只理解成“同意”；它也常表示实际提供资金、服务或维持条件。
  • 表示“支持某人、球队或观点”时，support后直接接对象；表示“支持某功能”时，通常是产品或系统作主语。
📖 中文释义
noun
  • core 支撑物
    📖 支撑某物、使它不倒或不塌的东西，例如承重梁、支架或柱子。
    💡 常用“a support for + 物体”或“provide support for + 物体”。这里通常指具体结构，不能随意用来表示抽象的意见支持；说多个支撑物时用复数supports。
    attributive countable sometimes uncountable
    Don't move that beam; it's a support for the platform.
    别移动那根梁，它是平台的支撑物。
  • core 支持；援助
    📖 给人、团体、事业或活动实际或精神上的帮助，使其能够继续发展或取得成功。
    💡 常见搭配是“financial support”“government support”和“support for + 事业或对象”。support可数或不可数：强调一种支持措施时可说a support，泛指支持时通常不用冠词。
    countable uncountable
    The project could not continue without public support.
    没有公众的支持，这个项目无法继续。
  • common 客户支持
    📖 销售产品后为用户回答问题、解决故障的服务，尤其指技术或售后服务。
    💡 常说“customer support”“technical support”和“support for + 产品”。在这个意义上support通常是不可数名词；不要把它误解为单纯的产品维修，也可以包括咨询和排障。
    countable uncountable
    The company offers free technical support for one year.
    这家公司提供一年的免费技术支持。
  • rare 支撑集
    📖 在数学中，函数不为零的那些点所组成的集合，以及该集合的闭包。
    💡 通常用于“the support of a function”这一数学结构中，不能按日常意义理解为援助。它是专业术语，学习一般阅读时可先识别而不必主动使用。
    countable uncountable
  • rare 模糊集支撑集
    📖 在模糊集理论中，所有隶属度严格大于零的元素组成的集合。
    💡 只在“support of a fuzzy set”或相关数学说明中使用。不要把它和普通意义的“支持某个模糊观点”混淆。
    countable uncountable
  • rare 模的支撑
    📖 在交换代数中，与模在局部化后仍非零的素理想所组成的集合。
    💡 这是交换代数的固定术语，通常出现在“the support of a module”中。它不表示代数对象获得了帮助，初学者只需识别其专业含义。
    countable uncountable
  • common 支持某观点的证据
    📖 能够证明某种理论、说法或指控可信的事实、材料或证据。
    💡 常见结构是“support for + 理论或说法”，也可说“provide support for”。这里的support多为不可数名词；表示具体的一条支持材料时才可能用a support，日常英语中更常说evidence。
    countable uncountable
    The new results provide strong support for her theory.
    新的结果为她的理论提供了有力支持。
  • common 兼容；支持某功能
    📖 产品、程序或设备具备使用某种功能、配件或文件格式的能力。
    💡 常见搭配是“support for + 功能”或“have support for + 功能”，也常说“no support for”。在计算机语境中它不是“帮助用户”，而是“能够兼容或运行”。
    countable uncountable
    This camera has support for wireless file transfer.
    这台相机支持无线文件传输。
  • common 配角支持
    📖 戏剧、电影或演出中与明星同台、但担任次要角色的演员或角色。
    💡 常见于“supporting actor”或“a support to + 主角”，具体名词support本身不如supporting actor常用。不要把这里的support理解成幕后援助。
    countable uncountable
    The film's supports gave the leading actor excellent scenes to play.
    这部电影的配角为主演提供了很精彩的对手戏。
  • common 伴奏
    📖 音乐中衬托主旋律、为演唱或主奏提供陪衬的部分。
    💡 常见于“vocal support”和“instrumental support”等音乐表达。这个意义较专业，日常谈音乐时更常直接说accompaniment对应的普通表达。
    countable uncountable
    The singer's voice was strengthened by quiet instrumental support.
    轻柔的器乐伴奏增强了歌手的声音。
  • rare 支撑姿势
    📖 体操或健身中身体由手臂等部位支撑起来的姿势，是support position的简称。
    💡 只在体操、健身训练说明中使用，通常出现在“in a support”或“move into a support”等结构里。不要把它当作一般的“帮助”或器械支架。
    abbreviation alt-of clipping countable uncountable
  • rare 结构支座
    📖 结构分析中承托结构的装置或连接部位，可为活动式、铰接式或固定式。
    💡 常见于“structural support”和“support of a structure”等工程语境。它指工程结构中的承托部件，不等同于日常语境中的笼统援助。
    countable uncountable
supports plural
verb
  • core 支撑
    📖 从下面托住物体，防止它倒下、下落或塌陷。
    💡 常用“support + 物体”或“be supported by + 支撑物”。它通常是及物动词，不能在标准表达中直接说“the beam supports”而不说明支撑什么。
    transitive
    These pillars support the roof.
    这些柱子支撑着屋顶。
  • core 支持；拥护
    📖 在思想上赞成某人、政党、事业或观点，也可以通过行动来帮助它。
    💡 常见结构是“support + 人、球队、政党或观点”，表示支持某球队时宾语直接放在后面。不要机械地把它译成“同意”；它往往包含持续的拥护或实际行动。
    transitive
    Many residents support the plan to build a new library.
    许多居民支持修建新图书馆的计划。
  • common 维持；供养
    📖 提供生活、运行或生存所需的条件，使某人、团体、系统或环境能够继续存在。
    💡 常见搭配是“support a family”“support life”和“support human habitation”。宾语可以是人，也可以是生态、系统或居住环境；不要只理解成短期的金钱援助。
    transitive
    Her income supports the whole family.
    她的收入养活了全家。
  • common 资助
    📖 特别是用金钱帮助某项活动、机构或事业继续进行。
    💡 常见结构是“support + 活动或机构”，也可说“support something financially”。它比一般的help更明确地强调资金或资源投入，但不一定是一次性捐款。
    transitive
    The foundation supports young artists through annual grants.
    这家基金会通过年度资助支持年轻艺术家。
  • core 为……提供证据
    📖 提供事实、数据或理由，使某个说法、理论或指控更可信。这里仍是“托住”的比喻：证据托住了结论。
    💡 常见结构是“evidence or results support + 观点”以及“support a claim/theory”。宾语通常是claim、theory、conclusion等，而不是具体的人；不要和“同意某人”混为一谈。
    transitive
    The data support the researchers' conclusion.
    这些数据支持研究人员的结论。
  • common 为……提供服务支持
    📖 在工作或服务岗位上帮助某个部门、组织或用户，处理其需要，但不一定对整体事务负主要责任。
    💡 常见结构是“support + 部门、团队或组织”。这里常表示协助运行，语气比be responsible for弱；不要因此推断主语是负责人。
    transitive

    我们团队为教师提供课堂技术支持。
  • common 协助
    📖 参与并帮助某项工作，但不承担全部责任，重点是提供配合或后台支持。
    💡 常见结构是“support + activity or person”，尤其用于工作分工说明。它强调协助而非领导；若要表示对结果负责，应使用更强的负责类表达。
    transitive
    I support the manager's administrative work.
    我协助经理处理行政工作。
  • common 提供售后或技术支持
    📖 回答关于已售产品的问题并解决使用中的故障。
    💡 常见结构是“support + 产品”或“support users with + 产品”。这里主语通常是公司、团队或服务部门；不要把它理解为单纯购买或销售产品。
    transitive
    The company supports its customers by phone and email.
    公司通过电话和电子邮件为客户提供支持。
  • common 兼容；支持运行
    📖 产品、程序或系统被设计成能够使用某种设备、文件格式、功能或算法。仍可理解为系统“托得住”该功能。
    💡 常见结构是“software supports + 功能或格式”以及“a device supports + 配件”。在技术语境中通常不是“帮助某人”，而是“兼容、能够运行”；常与does not或not yet连用。
    transitive usually
    The app supports several common video formats.
    这个应用支持几种常见的视频格式。
  • rare 承受；忍受
    📖 能够承受某种压力、困难或令人不快的事情而不被压垮。这个意义较古旧，仍保留“托住、撑住”的核心形象。
    💡 多见于文学或古旧表达，现代日常英语通常改用bear、endure或tolerate。学习时看到它要根据上下文理解为“承受”，不要优先解释成“支持观点”。
    archaic transitive
  • common 担任配角
    📖 在同一部戏剧、电影或演出中与明星合作，但扮演次要角色。
    💡 常见结构是“support + 演员或角色”，也可说“support a leading actor”。这里不是支持某人的意见，而是描述演出中的角色层级；对象通常是演员或角色。
    transitive

    她在一部热门音乐剧中担任主演的配角。
